Yes, surely it was?no, it could not be; but, yes?no?yes, most cer? tainly It was the odor of fresh-baking bread?non? of your bakery smells, out the real aroma of home-made bread. He glanced at the transom through which the tempting odor came. 'At this instant a stalwart young fel? low came charging around the corner m.?. will.??.p ! aa h as looking at jtnlford. slammed ?>pen the door be? lli tin fragrant transom. What followed Mulford heard inrol ?mtarlly. "??;??? It, Mahl: no luck!" said a this? ullne voice. "Kot a ied cent un? ii they hear from old Jasper. Con? found the luck! There goes the straw - bery shortcake, after all our plan? ning.*? "Never mind," replied a feminine voice, soothfugly. "I've got the crust all ready to put in the oven, and we will have some hot biscuit, anyway.'/ "Yfe?." replied the other, moodily, "with this blamed tallow stuff instead of butter. I'm sick of this pinching along on short rations?and we had our mouths all made un for a luscious strawberry shortcake?one of those with the berries all niastu'd up so you ?tan't see the crust?like we used to bave in the country." Suddenly it occurred to Mulford that he would give more for one of those old-fashioned strawberry short? cakes than for anything else he could think of. A vision of his boyhood day s rose in his mind and he could fairly smell and taste the rich, red mess. Then he real i/.cd. with a start, the la<t that he vas listening, and he turned to move on. The door burst open and the young man burst into the hall with a small pit? her in his hand, evidently going for some milk. Mulford auain caught the arorna of the new bread, and formed a suddea and desperate resolution. "I beg your pardon, sir." he said, "but I was an involuntary listener to a part of your conversation just now. I am a bach? lor and once lived in the country. I have been in the city a long time, and it is many years since 1 had ?anything good to eat. Could I. without offense, lllggfiBt that I would feel it a great personal lavor if you would persali me to furnish the neces? sary ingredients and to have a share in the feast. I haven't had a decent strawberry shortcake for 20 years." The young man flushed hotly, but before he could speak Mulford went on: **I do not presume to say this as an offer to assist you. It is a proposition of which I am to be the chief benficl ary." He smiled in that persuasive way which had helped him in so many deals. The young man's face cleared and hp replietl: "All right, sir; I'll take you at your word. Cimi, .?? and get the stuft and we'll give Mabel a -"!|.r;-??."

Detective's Offer to Embrace and Fondle His Mother Puts End to Thrilling Seauce. If the spiritualist medium hadn't possessed such great regard for his wife that he objected vigorously to a policeman kissing ber. a seance in the home of "the Rev." Clarence C. How land, at Philadelphia, Pa., wouldn't have ended with a decidedly unsplrit ual combat with fists. The detective lifln't P'ally mean to kiss Mrs. How land; simply, in his own terse Ian? tina .-.e, he "made that bluff" to make Howland "come from under cover." He succeeded. Hoaaland, the sleuth who scorned the spirits, told his story to Magistrate "ARK G?? MY MOTHER?' Pullinger. His s<ory of being tackled by unshadowy forms, with highly sub? stantial flats and fingernails, was cor roborated by Detective McCarthy. As a result Howland was held in $1,100 bail, on charges of obtaining money under false pretenses and assaulting a policeman. His wife was held in $600 on the first charge. "We went to Howland'a public meet? ing* and paid 35 cent? admission," tes? tified Hoagland. "But there wasn't much doing there, so we went to the private seance in the Howlands' home. We paid one dollar to make ourselves solid. We let the spirits work that time, but ?last night we thought we'd tahe a hand. "At last Howland called me up. He said he'd show me my mother. Sure enough, a tall figure came from the cabinet. It ha?l on a white gown? this gown." Hoas^ar 1 h^ld up a white china silk dress, which told mutely but elo? quently of having passed through a sharp conflict. "I said. 'Are you my mother?' and a faint voice said, 'Yea.' 'Well, If that's so I'm going to kiss you,' I said, and I made as if to crab her. "Her husband didn't seem to like that a bit. 'Don't do that!' he shouted. 'You'll break the spell.' I gave him an uppercut, and be closed with me. He fought like a?a?well, like a cham? pion heavyweight." "I wee. scrapping with Mrs. How? land." said McCarthy, taking up the tale, "and she fought like mad. I fol lowed her into the cabinet, as I wanted to arrest her in tho white gown to j:et evidence. In the fight the thin stuff was torn off down to her waist." HOUSE HAUNTED BY GOOSE. Mystery of a Philadelphia Suburb Solved by Veteran Who Was Not Afraid of Ghosts.
